Stainless Steel Pig Drinking Bowl with Valve

Product Overview

The Stainless Steel Pig Drinking Bowl with Valve is a complete watering unit in which the pan and the valve are supplied as one assembly, ready to connect to the water line. The bowl is made from food-grade stainless steel, and the central valve is built into the pan, so the unit arrives as a single complete product with no separate parts to assemble. The valve releases water when the pig presses it with the snout and closes automatically when the animal stops, which saves water and keeps the area around the bowl dry. The stainless body is strong, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, and the valve is a simple, robust mechanism with very few moving parts. The bowl is supplied with a mounting plate and bolts, so it can be fixed to a wall or to a pen partition at the correct height. With the valve fitted as standard, the farm does not need to buy the valve separately or worry about matching parts, which makes installation simple and reliable. This drinking bowl is suitable for grower and finisher pigs, sows and boars, and it connects to the farm water line with a standard fitting.

Technical Specifications

The bowl is manufactured from 304 stainless steel with a wall thickness of 1.2 mm. The pan has a diameter of 160 mm and a depth of 70 mm, and the built-in spring-loaded valve operates at a water pressure of 0.02 to 0.4 MPa, with a flow of approximately 2 litres per minute. The valve closes automatically when the pig stops pressing, and the water is replaced after every drink. The bowl has a 1/2 inch female inlet, and the mounting plate fits panels and walls up to 40 mm thick, with four M8 bolts supplied. The complete unit weighs about 2.5 kg. The surface is brushed and passivated, and the pan edges are rounded for safety. Optional models include a larger bowl of 200 mm diameter and a version with a raised valve for young pigs. Every bowl is pressure tested and checked for the valve action before packing, and it arrives complete with the mounting kit and an installation diagram.

Manufacturing & Quality

The bowl with valve is produced in our factory with careful attention to the valve assembly, which is the most important part of the unit. The pan is deep drawn from a laser-cut stainless blank in one piece, and the valve is built into the centre of the pan, with the connections sealed to prevent leaks. The valve is assembled from precision parts and tested individually for opening, closing and sealing, so that every bowl reacts correctly when the pig drinks. Each unit is pressure tested at the connections and inspected for dimensions, surface finish and valve operation before packing. A sample from each batch is tested for the durability of the valve over repeated use. Because the pan is formed from one piece of metal and the valve is built in, there are no loose parts and no joints where bacteria could collect. The bowl is exported in a compact carton with the mounting kit, ready to install, and gives dependable service for many years.

Applications

The drinking bowl with valve is used in grower and finisher pens, dry sow group housing, boar pens and hospital pens, wherever pigs need a clean and reliable water supply. The bowl is mounted on a wall or on a pen partition at the correct height, and the valve releases water only while the pig drinks, which saves water and keeps the floor dry. The bowl works with gravity tanks and pressurised water systems, and it connects to the water line with a standard 1/2 inch fitting. Because the valve is built into the pan, installation is quick and there are no parts to match. The bowl is easy to wash during the daily round, and the stainless body stays bright and hygienic for many years. With its complete, ready-to-install design, this drinking bowl is a dependable choice for farms that want clean water and simple maintenance in every pen.

For long-term service, the bowl is designed so that the valve can be inspected and cleaned without removing the unit from the wall, and spare valves and bolts are available from our factory. The bowl is exported in a compact carton with the mounting kit and an installation diagram, and it can be shipped by sea or by road without damage. Regular cleaning of the pan keeps the water point at its best, and the stainless surface stays bright for many years with normal care. The complete bowl with valve is backed by technical support from the factory, including advice on water pressure and mounting height. With its ready-to-install design, this drinking bowl gives dependable, hygienic service in every pen and is a product that farms order again for new buildings.
